Preparation is key to clearing any hurdle NEIL FORTUIN A hike to the top of Table Mountain has helped a group of Vision AfriKa Grade 10 learners to see that careful preparation is the key to achieving their goals.

The aim of the trip, which took place at the end of last month, was to have all of the students climb the iconic landmark within three hours.

But because it was a hot day with the mercury rising to 28°C and some of the learners being less fit than others, it soon became necessary to split the group in two.

The first group was led by the fastest and most experienced hiker and coped well despite the tough conditions, but members of the second group, which was allowed to take more regular stops, visibly struggled.

In fact, after two hours, some learners were

finding it so tough that a third team was formed to ensure their safety and allow them to hike at their own pace.

It took five hours for everyone to reach the summit, but the feeling of accomplishment that came with summiting was elating and the stunning views made it all worthwhile.

One of the key lessons the students learned from the experience was that preparation is key to achieving one’s sometimes apparently impossible dreams.

For instance, although at the outset the learners were all keen to scale the summit, about half of the group failed to think through what was required and did not carry enough water to last them.

Luckily, the team leaders had anticipated the situation and brought more than enough to get them through.

Kindersorg en Eikestadnuus se Kersfonds ontvang bydraes Eikestadnuus in samewerking met Kindersorg SuidAfrika: Stellenbosch het ’n Kersfonds begin.

Dié fonds word geadministreer deur die ouditeursfirma Exceed op Stellenbosch.

Die fonds het reeds sowat R5 000 se inbetalings ontvang. Ons bedank graag Investec PB, Richeard Stears, Capitec en T. Honnig wat reeds skenkings gemaak het.

“Die fonds gaan gebruik word om etes oor Kersfees en goeie kos vir die kinders te koop wat niks het nie sodat hulle darem net ’n Kersmaaltyd kan kry,” het Kindersorg se Wilhelm Landman gesê.

“Ons gaan ook probeer om, waar toepaslik, Kersgeskenkies vir die kinders te koop.

“Daar word ook beplan om van die pleegouers wat na kinders omsien en soms ook

baie swaar kry, te help om darem te sorg dat daar kos, ’n geskenkie en versierings in die huis is gedurende Kersfees.”

Indien daar ná die Kersfees-uitgawes geld oorbly, sal Kindersorg Stellenbosch dit gebruik om skoolklere en ander basiese items te voorsien aan die kinders wat dit die nodigste het.

“Die mikpunt is letterlik om net te probeer voorsien in die baie basiese goed wat ons ander as vanselfsprekend aanvaar,” het Landman verduidelik.

Eikestadnuus vra dat Stellenbossers betrokke raak en dié fonds ondersteun om hierdie bedrag net meer te laat groei.

Skenkings kan inbetaal word by ABSA Stellenbosch, Rekening naam: CWSA Herberg, Rekening nommer: 1004941027, Tak kode: 632005.

Ryneveldstraat-reünie Op Maandag 16 Desember gaan die Ryneveldstraat-reünie plaasvind. Die geleentheid begin om 09:30. Indien jy wil deel wees van hierdie geleentheid en nog nie jou uitnodiging ontvang het nie, bel Toff Polman by 021 905 1759 en 072 884 4118 vir meer besonderhede.

Kom help sop kook vir nagskuiling Soek jy dalk ’n manier om betrokke te raak by dienslewering aan diegene in die gemeenskap wat swaar kry?

Inspireer jou medewerkers of vriendekring om deel te word van ’n span wat ’n aantal keer per jaar sop kook wat dan aan die Stellenbosch-nagskuiling verskaf word.

Die resep is eenvoudig en die sop word met liefde en waardering ontvang.

Vir meer inligting of om betrokke te raak, bel Tilda Schoonwinkel by 021 887 2421 of Gideon van Schalkwyk by die Nagskuiling, 021 886 6173.

ANNA FOUNDATION’S ACHIEVERS REWARDED: The Anna Foundatioin recently had its final prizegiving.

A number of the award winners were totally unexpected and considering some of their backgrounds and home circumstances, they make the foundation very proud, especially as it see the fruit of its Reading, Running, Right-ing programme and how the children have grown. Children who excelled in the Anna Foundation’s recent exams received a certificate while vouchers were given to the top academic positions. Prizes were also awarded for sport and for the Right-ing category – those who have shown the right attitude, right behaviour and “right me”. The Anna Foundation’s life skills programme in particular, has had a tremendous impact on farm children this year. The focus of this programme is to develop communication skills, problem-solving skills, creativity and imagination as well as the ability to have empathy for others (in order to also accept one’s self).

The underlying core outcome of the drama programme is to develop a positive self-esteem and sense of self-worth in each child – something many children lack. The main trophies went to the following children: Dux award – Jonothan Slingers (Gr 8 from Solms-Delta Wines),best sportsman – Jacquin Williams (Gr 11 from Buffet Olives farm) best sportswoman – Mariska Goliath (Gr 3 from De Meye Wines), Right-ing Award – shared between Elton Messias (Villiera Wines) and Clint Kasper (Stellenzicht Wines).

Dié kleurvolle plaasmakietie is ’n uitnodiging vir oud en jonk om hulle kniediep te verlekker in al die oes-aksie, wanneer die Sperling-familie die daaglikse geswoeg en sweet in die kelder en die wingerd sal verruil vir ’n pretbelaaide “dag in die lewe van Delheim”. Dit gaan wissel van ’n uitdagende druiftrapsessie tot ’n luilekker piekniekbederf.

Die oesfees begin elke dag om 12:00 en gaste sal verwelkom word met ’n groetglas van wyn-in-wording (druiwemos) en ’n soet mosbolletjie, ’n egte oestyd-tradisie, om ’n glasie op die nuwe oesjaar te klink. Die druiwe wat op die dag geoes word sal ook geproe kan word.

Dan word die pret voortgesit teen ’n ontspanne pas met ’n keldertoer sodat geesdriftiges daar en dan ’n kykie kan kry na die hart en siel van ’n werkende kelder gedurende die gewoel en gewerskaf van hierdie opwindende tyd van die jaar. ’n Bobaas buffet-styl middagete wag dan ook in die historiese Vat Kelder, waar vriende en families hulle kan verlustig aan kreunende tafels smulgenot en dan piekniek hou in die skadu op die gras langs die rivier, met sielsverkwikkende musiek wat dié salige prentjie sal afrond.

Julius Mzomba sê hy is hartseer oor Madiba se dood maar sal altyd lief wees vir hom. “Ek wag om te sien wat gaan nóú gebeur. Hy was baie siek, maar in daai tyd het hy baie vir die land beteken. Daar sal nooit weer iemand soos hy wees nie. Hy was lief vir almal.”

Pieter Lategan is hartseer oor Tata se dood.

“Hy was die laaste ikoon van vryheid, so, waar begin mens nou? Die besighede sal seker nou momentum optel ná sy dood.

Hy het baie vir ons beteken. Ek hoop net dat ons lekker saam kan leef en dinge dag vir dag vat, want niks gaan oornag verander nie. Almal het verskillende opinies oor hom, maar kom ons vergeet nou eers daarvan.”

Maria Booysen sê dat sy hartseer is oor Madiba se dood. “Hy was ons Pa. Wat gaan nou gebeur. Daar is reeds stories dat ons nie meer geldjies gaan kry nie. Maar moenie als glo nie, en moenie kleingelowig wees nie. Ons sal moet saamstaan en mekaar help, soos my Pa dit sou wou hê.”

Izaan Havenga sê die gevoelens is aaklig.

Hy was ’n legende. Hy was die beter mens.

Ons was geseënd om hom vir 95 jaar in ons land te hê, maar dit is almal se lot, en hy was vir ons geleen. Ek hoop net almal kan respek vir mekaar toon, soos hy dit wou hê. Ons moet liefde uitstraal.”

Idas Valley crowned Kappa Cup champions Idas Valley are the winners of the inaugural u. 15 Kappa Cup. The young Stellenbosch players claimed a 1-0 victory over fellow finalists Maties in the Kappa Cup finals held at Stellenbosch University’s (SU) Lentelus Soccer Centre on Saturday 30 November.

The final was the culmination of a knock-out tournament featuring players from 15 local clubs and one invitation team, held over the past two weekends.

Last Saturday’s action began with semi-final matches between Franschhoek and Idas Valley, followed by a showdown between Maties and Newtons.

Idas Valley and Maties subsequently emerged as winners, progressing to the final match of the day.

The final of the Kappa Cup lived

up to the expectations and excitement created all week.

Maties narrowly missed scoring in the seventh minute as a shot from 25 m out beat the goalkeeper, but not the woodwork. Idas Valley slowly but surely came back into the game and claimed better ball possession in the first half.

This pressure led to the first goal when the Maties keeper could only parry a corner following which, Dustin van Kerwel of Idas Valley put the ball into the back of the net. Idas Valley went into the break one goal ahead.

Maties came out firing in the second half and were awarded a penalty in the 60th minute when one of the Idas Valley defenders handled the ball in the 18-yard area.

The Idas Valley keeper showed his mettle when he excellently saved

from the spot, not once, but twice, as the referee rewarded a retake after the ball moved when the Maties player took the first penalty kick. The excitement levels grew after this as both teams gave their all in the remaining minutes.

Ultimately the Idas Valley defence proved outstanding and this was the deciding difference between the two teams.

The Kappa Cup is a product of the recent partnership between SU and the Stellenbosch Local Football Association (LFA).

The partnership focuses on stimulating youth soccer through healthy inter-club competition.

“This partnership creates a foundation for discovering and developing soccer talent, as well as sport leadership capacity within the Greater Stellenbosch area,” says

Stellenbosch LFA chairman, Joseph Jacobs.

According to Garth le Roux, Maties Football Club’s manager, the talent on display during the tournament bodes well for the future of soccer in Stellenbosch. “With proper developmental training, guidance and commitment, we will see a couple of stars showcasing their talents on the big scene very soon.”

“The u.15 teams of clubs in the LFA were all given the opportunity to compete for top honours in the Kappa Cup,” says Warren Engelbrecht, sport scientist at Innovus, the university industry interaction and innovation company of SU. Title sponsor Kappa provided kit for the two finalist teams, as well as for the referees for the final match.

Spectators were also treated to a display of some of the youngest foot-

ball talent in Stellenbosch when local u.9 teams took to the field in a series of friendly games between the tournament semi-final and final matches.

The SU-LFA partnership forms part of the university’s larger football development programme, which aims to establish the building blocks of football development in the region and to nurture and develop talented players.

“Our world-class facilities, expertise in the field of sport science and our geographical location all mean that we are ideally positioned to build the SU Football Programme into the leading football development programme in South Africa,” concludes Anita Nel, senior director: innovation and business development at SU and Innovus’s chief executive officer.
